An early test for our squad away to a good Coventry side who finished 3rd last season.
We need to get a solid set piece, control possession and territory with discipline in defence as demonstrated last week.
If we get these aspects of our game in place,despite the loss of Steele Barker and Chester Ribbons, we can come away with the win.

Two big packs! McNab and Houston start for Cov, it should be tasty.
